VLC86 Posted 12 August Share Posted 12 August (edited) 4 minutes ago, StriderHiryu said: Leicester City: "Sorry Carlos Corberan, we think you are a great coach, but 4M is too much to pay to get you out of West Brom" Also Leicester City: "10M to loan an ageing Wilfred Zaha for a season we most likely go down in because we over spent and broke FFP / PSR rules? DONE DEAL" It’s relative isn’t it. As the manager, Corboran is likely to have a very tough season which could mean he loses his job and therefore that money has been spunked up the wall. Where as you are always going to have Zaha after paying that, and could get a better deal for him later on if he does well. Edit: Can’t wait for Zaha to have his loan terminated a week in now.

The Doctor Posted 12 August Share Posted 12 August 47 minutes ago, UniFox21 said: That is a large fee for a years loan. Wonder if there's a suggestion if it does go well he could move over permanently for a small fee it's structured that way for tax purposes, and is the equivalent of ~3m loan fee plus paying his wages from what's been said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post coolhandfox Posted 12 August Popular Post Share Posted 12 August (edited) Paying a 1 off fee whilst we are in the PL is OK. Locking ourselves into big wages and a transfer fee amortised over 4 season is more of an issue if we go down. It makes sense for that reason alone.

DJ Barry Hammond Posted 12 August Share Posted 12 August 1 minute ago, South Shire Fox said: £10 million loan fee for a soon to be 32 year old winger.. what could possibly go wrong 😂 Do you mean the risk of guaranteeing a players services for a season at a fixed cost without any further obligation or liability past that? In terms of cost / risk ratio, this deal would be on the lower end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Babylon Posted 12 August Popular Post Share Posted 12 August People are baffling, if the deal was written as £3m fee and we pay his wages, there wouldn't be the moans. But write it as £8m loan fee and Gala pay his wages and some how people have a wappy about the money 20 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmcla26 Posted 12 August Share Posted 12 August Really excited to see what he can do for us. After KDH left, and with Vardy winding down, it's important to have a talisman figure that can take responsibility - something not enough of the 22/23 squad did.

Yes they would, I've been on here long enough to know that. £9m might be a lot to you, but in terms of a premier league football club, it's not that big a deal. What's far more important is that we know we can balance the books if we go down. Remember everyone moaning on here about us getting into financial trouble? It's a necessary evil due to our position, and yeaaaaah it might be possible to get another player cheaper on loan, but they will cost money also, and if they are any good at all they will cost a lot of money. As much as him... maybe not, but we need to get deals done. We can't keep going from one player and club forever to get amazing perfect deals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But only 3 million of it will be money spent against PSR if we are paying his (large) wages which frees up funds for elsewhere This signing could be massive for fans belief going into the season and should it end up terrible we're not stuck with yet more deadwood Im all for it personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sankey93 Posted 12 August Share Posted 12 August People who are moaning about zaha wow! What’s wrong with you ? He’s exciting player who makes things happen! He’s 31 still got a point to prove. He starts majority of the games and gets a decent GA imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian__marshall Posted 12 August Share Posted 12 August Decent signing this if we can pull it off. Need another striker too, but a front four of Mav, Zaha, Fatawu, and A N Other has plenty of goals in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that I think we need to sign players who are better than our current starters. But Vardy will be with us whatever happens for next season and I think his attitude is a million times better than Zaha's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This league has a lot of crap teams this year. forest everton wolves ( lost kilman and Neto ) Bournemouth ( lost solankeb ) Southampton Ipswich Brentford ( toney hopefully goes ) we sign these 3/4 players and tighten up defence we’ve got a great chance!

BDCR is one, then the other, if we're saying that Mcateer and Marcal are not ready, should be looking either a cheaper loan or spending that £10m on a young championship prospect so there's long term options and potential sell on value, rather than a bloke on the downward swing for a year with attitude question marks.
